Another then estimates its strength, and brings a deer as opponent. The latter is called Atkal. In case of Mals, the betting is five muhurs; for water-buffaloes and cocks, four; for cows and fighting rams, and goats, two. A commander of One Thousand is allowed to bet six muhurs on a khágah deer; and with one of his own rank, 3½ muhurs, if the bet is on an Atkal; and three on an Anín; and so also in the same proportion on Iuls, water-buffaloes, and cocks; but on cows, fighting rams, and goats, two. A commander of Nine Hundred may bet on a khágah deer 50 Rupees; and with one of his own rank, 30½ R. on an Atkal, and 25 R. on an Anin; on a Mal 3½ muhurs; on a water-buffalo and a cock 3½ M.; and on all other animals, 1½ M. A commander of Eight Hundred is allowed to bet 48 R. on a khágah deer; with one of his rank, 30 R. on an Atkal; and 24 R. on an Anin; on a Mal 3½ M.; on a water-buffalo and cock, 2½ M., and on other animals, as before. A commander of Seven Hundred is allowed to bet 44 R. on a khágah deer; with one of his own rank on an Atkal 27½ R.; on an Anin 22 R.; on a Mal 3 M.; on other animals as before. A Commander of Six Hundred may bet 40 R. on a khágah deer; with one of his own rank, 25 R. on an Atkal; 20 R. on an Anin; on other animals as before. A Commander of Five Hundred may bet 4 M. \[36 R.\] on a khágah deer; with one of his own rank 2½ M. on an Atkal, and 2 M. on an Anin; on other animals, as the preceding.
